1971 Omega Speedmaster Japanese Apollo XI 145.022-69

Description

This is a very rare example of the Omega 145.022-69 Apollo XI Speedmaster as they were delivered in a small badge to Japan in 1972. These Speedies with the rare case back engraving were similar to the straight-writing watches, which were the first reaction of Omega to the moon landing.

This example here has a stunning original chocolate step dial and a bezel that has faded to a beautiful grey. It's in beautiful and honest original condition and comes with a later 1171/1 bracelet and an extract of the archives.
